Fynn McCool " Fynn McCool" 1970 UK Prog. Rock. <br /> <br />When The Shake Spears broke up in mid-1968, the remaining members Chris Stone, Alan Escombe and Mick Carter founded Fynn McCool (named after Finn McCool (Fionn mac Cumhaill), a figure in Irish mythology). Mick Fowler (ex-Grapefruit) completed the first line-up. Later line-up changes included two further ex-Grapefruit members, Bob Wale and Geoff Swettenham, as well as Garth Watt-Roy, who joined East of Eden afterwards. <br /> <br />Fynn McCool's only, selftitled album is now very rare and highly sought after. It was released on RCA Records without the group's consent, based on unfinished (demo-) recordings. The tapes with the final versions of the songs got lost soon after the group split up in February 1972.. <br /> <br />Chris Stone (guitar, vocals, 1968-70), Alan Escombe (bass, 1968-72), Mick Carter (drums, 1968-70), Mick Fowler (keyboards, vocals, 1969-72), Bob Wale (guitar, vocals, 1970), Geoff Swettenham (drums, 1970-71), Viktor Tedeschi (saxophone, flute, 1970), Glen Turner (guitar, vocals, 1970), Garth Watt-Roy (guitar, vocals, 1971), Steve Krieger (guitar, vocals, 1971-72), Ken "Ginger" Dixon (drums, 1971-72), Peter Arnesen (piano, vocals, 1971-72)
